The Newton Traffic Council voted 5–0 to install a 'No parking here to corner' sign on the west side of Bristol Road between the last driveway and Commonwealth Avenue, placing the sign 55 feet north of Commonwealth Avenue (option 1).

Planner David Koses presented two placement options (55 feet and 145 feet). He summarized four emails from residents and noted mixed opinions: Holly Vara, who lives at the last driveway, opposed a no-parking sign; Henry Vara and other neighbors likewise said they had not seen issues. Jane Hanser and business-owner commenters said parked cars had blocked carriageway openings during special events and ticketing had occurred, supporting the sign.

During public comment Jane Hanser described multiple occasions when cars parked near the barrier openings and obstructed pedestrian and bicycle sight lines. "When people park their cars there...you cannot see people exiting," she said. Councilor Lipoff, citizen rep Mitch Fishman and others debated whether the sign would remove a usable space but ultimately concluded the safety and event-use concerns justified the 55-foot placement. Danielle Delaney called the roll and the motion passed 5–0 (TPR1005 option 1). The vote is subject to the standard appeals period and installation steps.
